Argi 2 Light Wall Lamp - Brown Oxide with Taupe Shade

The Argi is a 2-light wall lamp with interlocking scrollwork in brown oxide metal, supporting two taupe fabric shades on upright arms. Each shade houses an E27 bulb (sold separately), and the scrollwork frame projects 180mm from the wall on a flat rectangular backplate. The design references the sculptural forms of Spanish artist Eduardo Chillida, with incomplete circular shapes woven into a symmetrical composition.

Designed for hallways, bedroom walls flanking a headboard, or living room alcoves where ambient light is needed without occupying floor space, the Argi works in interiors that blend classical wrought-iron detailing with muted fabric tones. The 350mm width suits single-gang switch positions or centred above a console table, while the 330mm height gives enough presence to anchor a wall without dominating it. The fixture is dimmable when paired with dimmable E27 LED bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch, allowing the light level to be adjusted for morning reading or evening atmosphere.

The brown oxide finish on the metal has a slightly textured, hand-forged appearance that catches light unevenly, giving the scrollwork depth under both daylight and lamplight. The taupe fabric shades soften the harder metal forms and diffuse light upwards and downwards, casting a warm wash on the wall behind and reducing glare compared to exposed bulbs. The 0.9kg weight and relatively shallow 180mm projection make the Argi straightforward to fit to standard UK plasterboard or masonry walls using the mounting points on the backplate.

What bulbs does the Argi take?

The lamp takes two E27 (Edison screw) bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair it with warm-white LED bulbs between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for ambient lighting. The maximum wattage depends on the bulb type — check the bulb packaging for compatibility with fabric shades.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, when fitted with dimmable E27 bulbs and connected to a compatible dimmer switch. The fixture itself does not include a dimmer — you will need to install a wall dimmer switch on the circuit or use smart dimmable bulbs.

What wall fixing is required?

The backplate has mounting points for screws. On plasterboard walls, use cavity fixings rated for at least 1kg per fixing point. On masonry, standard wall plugs and screws are sufficient. The 0.9kg weight and 180mm projection create minimal leverage on the fixings.

What rooms suit the Argi?

The Argi works well in hallways, bedrooms (flanking a headboard or above a dressing table), and living rooms where wall-mounted ambient light is preferred over floor lamps. The brown oxide and taupe palette suits traditional, rustic, and warm contemporary interiors.
